Platelet-Rich Plasma and Platelet-Rich Fibrin

Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, are small, colourless cell fragments in the blood which contain hundreds of proteins called growth factors. Once re-injected into the target tissue, these key growth factors (platelet-derived growth factors, PDGFs) work by stimulating the process of fibroblast collagen synthesis and are able to stimulate cell proliferation, matrix remodelling and angiogenesis.

Following a comprehensive consultation, a treatment plan can be tailored to your individual anatomy, concerns and treatment goals.

The Details

  • Those seeking treatment for wrinkles, fine lines, skin discoloration, scarring, hair loss, undereye hollowing / darkness.

  • Involves collecting a patient's own blood into PRP or PRF Tubes. The blood is then spun in a specially-designed T-Lab® Centrifuge in order to separate out plasma or fibrin from the other blood components. This platelet-rich plasma and fibrin, which contains between 5 to 9 times the platelet concentration of regular blood, is then re-injected into the target tissue.

  • A typical treatment plan involves an initial course of three sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments may be considered every 6-12 months to support skin condition and appearance over time

  • First 24-48 hours:

    • Keep area clean & dry

    • Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area

    • Ice packs should not be applied

    • Remain well hydrated

    • Strenuous exercise, excessive sweating, & heat (e.g. saunas, hot bath) should be avoided

    • Avoid make-up

    • Broad-spectrum sunscreen may be resumed after 24 hours

    For 3-5 days post:

    • Active skincare ingredients (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C) must be avoided for 3–5 days

    • Alcohol consumption must be avoided (minimum 24 hours)

    • Anti-inflammatory medications (e.g. ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxen) must be avoided

    Hair PRP only:

    • Avoid washing the hair for 24 hours

    • Hair products, styling tools, heat styling & chemical treatments should be avoided for 48 hours

  • 30 - 60 minutes

  • PRP Therapy, Full Face w/ microneedling - $650. Package of 3 is $1,800.

    PRP Therapy, Full Face w/ intradermal injections - $600. Package of 3 is $1,650.

    PRP/PRF Therapy, Undereye - $400. Package of 3 is $1,100.

    PRP/PRF Therapy, Hair Restoration - $600. Package of 3 is $1,650.

  • Not suitable during pregnancy. It can be breastfeeding safe, this is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

  • All medical treatments carry some level of risk and side effects.

    There are potential side effects associated with this treatment. These can vary between individuals and may include temporary bruising, swelling, redness, tenderness or sensitivity at the treatment area.

    Less common complications may include infection, irritation & asymmetry.

    Potential side effects and complications will be explained during your consultation, including ones that are temporary and that are less common. Treatment will only proceed once you have had the opportunity to ask questions and provide informed consent.

Understanding Platelet-Rich Plasma and Platelet-Rich Fibrin

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Fibrin (PRF) procedures involve collecting a patient's own blood into T-Lab® PRP or PRF Tubes. The blood is then spun in a specially-designed T-Lab® Centrifuge in order to separate out plasma or fibrin from the other blood components. This platelet-rich plasma and fibrin, which contains between 5 to 9 times the platelet concentration of regular blood, is then re-injected into the target tissue.

PRP

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is prepared with a fast spin in the centrifuge and an anticoagulant inside the tube. The plasma is very liquid and releases growth factors rapidly. It is commonly used for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, acne scarring, gynaecology and musculoskeletal injuries.

PRF

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is prepared with a slower spin and no anticoagulants. This forms a natural fibrin matrix / gel, which slowly releases growth factors for up to 14 days once injected. PRF is used as a natural alternative to dermal fillers, as well as for wound healing, dental regeneration, and small areas of hair loss.

At Evara, we believe understanding these processes is an important part of making informed decisions about your skin and facial aesthetics. Your individual anatomy, skin, movement and concerns are all considered during a consultation.
